Today we are charting new courses with self-government, economic development, investment in mining, partnerships in new technologies, and participation in management of Kluane National Park and Wildlife Preserve and Reserve, the Asi Keyi Natural Environment Park and the Pickhandle Lake Habitat Protection Area.

Lance Goodwin COMMUNITY VOICES IT’S HERE THAT I AM INSPIRED TO WRITE SONGS There is a point along the Alaska Highway where you catch your first glimpse of Lhù’ààn Mân’ (Kluane Lake). I look forward to that vista every time I drive home – understanding I am more part of this land than it is part of me. I travel to many places but none fills me with the wonder that home does. It’s here that I am inspired to write songs. This land, people, animals, cycle of nature, history, outside forces, and challenges are Kluane’s gifts. Wind from ice and ocean blows away the shell we hide behind leaving us feeling renewed and inspired.
